Koda Overview

The koda MCP server lets coding agents run focused verification, inspect reports, review recurring failures, and generate GitHub Actions workflows. It uses agent-supplied impact analysis for flows, endpoints, targets, commits, and flow limits, avoiding additional LLM analysis during MCP calls. Verification can combine read-only endpoint checks, integration tests, and scoped Kane browser flows for UI changes. Reach for it when an agent needs commit-level feedback and historical failure context without running every check on every change.

Primary Use Cases for Koda:
  • Verify changed endpoints and tests after a commit
  • Run browser checks only for affected UI changes
  • Inspect recurring failures and previous fix history
  • Generate a validated GitHub Actions verification workflow
